Image formats for a Dutch press page in 2026: JPEG, PNG and WebP beside a print resolution

By Nadia Bouzid · Last change 2 September 2026 · 5 min

Which image formats do Dutch journalists need on a press page in 2026?

Journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders work with different image formats depending on the publication. A press page should offer JPEG, PNG and WebP as standard options, plus a print resolution file. JPEG works for most photos, PNG is better for graphics with transparency, and WebP compresses files smaller without losing noticeable quality.

PR-Newsroom, the online newsroom product from PR-Dashboard, supports all three formats and allows journalists to choose the one they need. The product pages of PR-Dashboard, read 1 Sep 2026, list WebP alongside JPEG and PNG in the media library features.

What is the difference between JPEG, PNG and WebP for a Dutch press page?

JPEG is the oldest format and works on every device. It compresses photos well but loses detail with each save. PNG keeps every pixel exactly as it was created, which makes it ideal for logos, screenshots or images with text.

The downside is a larger file size. WebP is a newer format from Google that combines the good parts of both. It produces smaller files than JPEG at the same quality level and supports transparency like PNG.

The product pages of the Amsterdam supplier, read 1 Sep 2026, state that the newsroom accepts WebP files alongside JPEG and PNG. All three are standard on the newsroom pages that journalists visit.

Why add a print resolution file to a Dutch press page?

Print publications in the Netherlands and Flanders require images at 300 dots per inch (DPI). A web image at 72 DPI looks blurry when printed in a magazine or newspaper. By adding a separate print resolution file, the press page gives journalists the version they need for layout.

The newsroom product from the Amsterdam supplier includes a download option for high resolution images. The product pages, read 1 Sep 2026, describe the media library as a place where journalists can download JPEG, PNG, WebP and high resolution files from one page. This saves the journalist from asking for a separate file by email.

How to choose the right image format setup for your Dutch press page?
